The new emphasis in Data Management is in response to feedback from the business community that students graduating in Management need to have an understanding and working knowledge of large data sets, how to analyze the data and make business related decisions. Currently Concordia will be the first university in Alberta to offer such an Emphasis. This will distinguish Concordia University of Edmonton Management students from other graduates in the market place.

Two new courses being offered through the Mihalcheon School of Management at the Concordia University of Edmonton include: Data Management (DTM 401) and Business Demography (DTM 402).
